Description
I am not really allowed to say that much about the hike because it is very secrative. But I will say this. It was by far the best trip I have ever embarked in/on. It was one of the most humbling experiences to be out there in heart of God's country doing what I love best. We went from the South region to the North region and then some. The range of secenery that you get is just outstanding. I can proudly say that this place is one of the best backpacking grouds out there.

Directions to Hike
It is located about 5 miles outside Cimarron , New Mexico. I believe I-60 runs right through it, but I may be wrong.

Contact Information
You could contact Alex Ave'Lallemant, who is a ranger out at Philmont. His e-mail address is ave@rice.edu. I hope this is of help.
